[artix-general] Package dependencies

Hi all,

I am wondering why packages that need a $pkgbase-{runit, s6, openrc} 
package don't depend on something like a $pkgbase-service.

Taking iwd as an example it would only be needed to add
depends=("$pkgbase-service")
in the iwd PKGBUILD and to add
provides=('iwd-service')
in the openrc, s6 and runit packages.

That way people would be aware of the need of such a package without 
having to search for it and without being a difficult solution.
